This week pretty normal. Which was really nice because last week was for sure not normal. Here is what happened:
Tuesday: We got to help the Food Bank at our church building then we did regular P-day stuff and we went up to the stake center in El Centro to meet up with the other missionaries in the valley. Elder Cowley and I got stranded up there because the other Elders had to go to a different town to do a baptismal interview so we got home at like 845. That was a weird day.
Wednesday: During the day it was kind of a normal day. In the evening we had our scripture class. We had a record 6 people there which was so awesome! We learned about of Jesus Christ is the God of the Old and New Testament as well as the Book of Mormon. After the class we taught one of the members of the class named Arturo. That was a super cool lesson.
Thursday: Thursday was just kinda alright. Not a whole lot happened we spent a lot of time preparing for Friday
Friday: Mauricio (who a month ago told us to stop teaching him because he was an atheist) was baptized! That day was so cool. Elder Cowley, in the past had promised Mauricio that on the day he was baptised that he would know for a fact that God exists. After he was baptized, he had the opportunity to bear his testimony and all he talked about was how God exists and how this church is true and it was amazing. However we were both so excited that we forgot to take pictures with the man. Shame on us. We preformed a rendition of the song I Believe in Christ with our guitars. It was super cool.
Saturday: Just a normal day with normal missionary work. We got to teach Denise and Maria and they are awesome. They have a lot of work to do but they are so willing and awesome!
Sunday: Mauricio was confirmed in sacrament meeting by Elder Cowley and that was super amazing but we were not able to get pictures on Sunday either cuz he had to help his son out last minute. Lame. But still a super good day.
Monday: Yesterday we had someone take us to Famous Dave's and I ate way too much then we visited Mauricio and he gave us brownies and milk. I just about died.
I learned a lot from the scriptures about Grace this week. Through Grace and only through the Grace of Christ can we return to our place in heaven. All we have to do to receive this Grace is obey God. He wants to badly to give us Grace. It's such a cool relationship. I don't quite have the words to express it yet. I'm working on that. Anyway.
Love y'all!
Elder Stephen
